James's Louth Run for Life

My Story

So those of you who know me will know I've never run more than 100m at one go so this is a big step up. Along with some of the lads from grainthorpe football team we will be running this in support of a great charity. We have all lost someone to Cancer whether it's friends or family, I lost my grandad several years ago to it, we lost Tony Brown from work as well, and several other family friends, it always take the best people in our lives. So I feel this is a great opportunity for me to give something back to help research to find a cure. I would appreciate it if you can either share this post or donate whatever you can. About this event: 1k and 5k events (walk, jog or run). Open to men, women and children. The event starts and ends in the Market Place in the pretty Lincolnshire market town of Louth. The 5k course takes in the local area of natural beauty, Hubbard’s Hills and has great support along the way. Fancy Dress is always encouraged and spot prizes are given. On the day: Join us in the market place for a warm up, then the children's (under 12's) 1k will start at 10am, the women's 5k starts at 10:30am and finally the men's 5k at 11:45am. As always the event will be followed up with an afterparty at the Kings Head on Mercer Row and the Turks Head and other pubs in the town centre will also be serving food and have music playing. Get involved: Sign up today and raise funds to help us beat cancer sooner. Early bird offer applies and as of the 1st June prices for the men and womens race will increase to £15.00. Tie those laces because every step you take will be beating cancer.
